Free family fun day to celebrate 50th anniversary of Hartsdown swimming pool Your Leisure will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Hartsdown swimming pool in Margate with a free family fun day on Saturday, 20 July. The swimming pool at Hartsdown Leisure Centre held its grand…

If you are looking for new swimwear - particularly if you have pale children, contrasting colours are the safest option.

I’m getting lots of enquiries about spaces, which is lovely! 🐠 🐟 🐠
We are only a small swim school, and, as we have a very high retention rate, spaces don’t come up that often.
Unfortunately we are currently full, but if you’d like to join our contact list to hear about spaces as they come up the link is here:

🚧 ROAD NOW OPEN AGAIN & signs are away

At the moment there are several “Road closed” signs along Shottendane road from the Westgate side. I checked at noon - it is still open & you can access from both sides. It may be worth allowing extra time if things change though. Please update any changes below! 🚧

Know any swim teachers? We are on the hunt for teachers for a May and/or September start.
*Small classes
*Great pay (£21/hour +£5 set up +£2 admin)
*Lovely pools

BUT well that doesn't really explain the loveliness of it all, so I asked the teachers why they liked working for 3LF (obvs. expecting them to wax lyrical about my great management skills... spoiler not mentioned once) but this is what they said they liked best...
*Small groups of kids mean you get to know all the children individually
*Watching kids progress quickly because of the small groups is rewarding
*Encouragement and freedom to be creative within the Swim Stages structure.
*Friendly team of teachers

If you are a qualified, experienced Level 2 Swim Teacher looking for some extra hours, do drop us a message, always happy to chat away about swimming.
